I'm right there with you. I admit I have more income to dispose on game
lines - not all of which are White Wolf, thankyouverymuch.

That's understandable. I also wish the books had more pages, and the
margins were narrower, but it's not egregiously bad.

No, I'm using Aberrant for Aberrant. I occasionally send characters off
to alternate universes, and this is where those shelves and shelves of
gamebooks come in. I sent the *Mage* characters to the "Brave New
World."

True. 

I create my own settings, but I also like to read other settings. It
serves well as an idea-mine.

Well, *you* chose not to purchase Aberrant. I can't say whether you'll
like it, but I'm still interested in your reaction. :-)

I like Deadlands (but don't follow the game), and I'm not sure if I'll
follow BNW yet. I'm considering it, but I'll have to see the next book.
